Sinopse

The Memories of Slavery - Complete Collection serves as both a profound literary tapestry and a historical anthology, unearthing the indelible experiences of those who lived under slavery's brutal reign. Spanning various genres and styles—biographical narratives, harrowing autobiographies, and forceful pamphlets—this collection delves into the multifaceted reality of enslavement, resistance, and eventual liberation. Standout pieces invite readers into the harrowing ordeals and triumphant stories of escape, offering a vivid portrayal of individual and collective resilience that weaves a narrative as compelling as it is complex. Bringing together the voices of over thirty authors, this anthology features pivotal figures such as Frederick Douglass, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, and Sojourner Truth, alongside equally impactful, yet lesser-known contributors. Collectively, these narratives draw from diverse cultural and socio-political landscapes, aligning with abolitionist and post-abolitionist movements across epochs. Through their shared stories, these authors enrich the overarching theme by offering nuanced perspectives and illuminating the shared humanity within their struggle. This anthology is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of slavery through a literary lens. It extends beyond mere historical documentation, offering readers an unparalleled opportunity to encounter a spectrum of human emotions and experiences. Engaging with this collection promises an educational journey, providing context-rich insights and fostering pivotal dialogues that invite continued reflection on our past and its enduring legacy. Dive into The Memories of Slavery - Complete Collection for its profound depth, compelling narratives, and the unique reconciliation of history and literature it presents.

    Stiff Ride: 
    I knew I was in the wrong bar in the wrong part of town. 
    I didn’t care. Curiosity is what made me want to feel a man inside me for the first time, but that it was something much stronger that had me parked outside this biker’s bar tonight. I didn’t belong here with my expensive loafers and hair gel, but the deep throated rumble of that bike as he turned the corner? No, I didn’t care if I didn’t belong. 
    His tight shirt clung to his body. His chaps kept my eyes glued to that perfectly outlined package. Oh yeah, I wasn’t just curious. I knew what would happen when I walked into that bar… at least I thought I did. I can tell you right now, I didn’t think I’d be pinned to the pool table. 
    Am I really ready for my first time to be a rough, hard ride?

    William Shakespeare is the celebrated script writer of the most popular plays in the English language. By writing both tragedies, romances, and comedies in the 16th century, he made a name for himself and became successful in the art of drama. 
    Shakespeare’s life and decisions led to his acclaim, and in this book, we will lay out some of the most significant changes in both his personal choices and his career. Despite of his financial debts, his complex family life, and his background, he was able to entertain his audiences both in his time and for centuries after his death. 
    I encourage you to use this brief study to become more aware and understanding of the historical challenges and successes in his time, and the value and symbolism in his plays.

    While most of Gibran's early writings were in Arabic, most of his work published after 1918 was in English. His first book for the publishing company Alfred A. Knopf, in 1918, was "The Madman," a slim volume of aphorisms and parables written in biblical cadence somewhere between poetry and prose. Gibran is considered to be the third most widely read poet in history, behind Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu.

    "Progress and Poverty" is a seminal work written by Henry George, first published in 1879. The book addresses economic and social issues, particularly focusing on the unequal distribution of wealth and the causes of poverty in the midst of progress and economic growth. In "Progress and Poverty," Henry George explores the relationship between economic progress and the persistence of poverty. He critiques the existing economic system and advocates for a single tax on land as a solution to address wealth inequality and eradicate poverty. George argues that land, as a resource, should be treated as a common good, and the benefits of land value increases should be shared by the community. The book gained widespread attention and sparked discussions on economic reform and social justice.
